Egerie Rosé de Saignée

The Egérie Rosé de Saignée is Pannier's prestige cuvée in rosé. It is made from 80 per cent Pinot Noir and 20 per cent Chardonnay and spent at least six years in the cellar. The colour comes from the saignée method: the juice draws colour from the Pinot Noir skins, rather than red wine being added. On the nose it recalls candied strawberries and raspberries, joined by the floral freshness of the Chardonnay. On the palate, freshness and elegance combine with a fleshy, fruity fullness.

At the table it goes with white meat and with desserts featuring red fruit. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a wide white wine glass so that its aromas can open up fully.
